Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Automated Identification of Thermal Transitions in Conjugated Material Thin Films Using In Situ Optical Spectroscopy

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of in situ UV−vis coupled with automated data analysis, namely, ATLAS, for fast and reliable identification of multiple thermal transition in conjugated polymer thin films. This ATLAS method will significantly accelerate the understanding of the phase behavior of D‐A polymers with important implications for ...

Both forest cover and land management practices explain variation in recovering pine marten densities

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Robust monitoring of wildlife populations to guide interventions is fundamental to conservation and wildlife management. Understanding how landscape characteristics are influencing predator population dynamics is often vital to inform recovery strategies, management, and policy. The pine marten Martes martes is recovering in the UK; however, population
